Rings: Greater essence dual resist + life

What to do on this page

  1. Set the league so the green links open the right Trade2 search.
  2. Read the question under Walk the tree. Click a green link, look at the cheapest listing, then answer yes or no.
  3. Type the three prices above before you spend anything. Continue only when the sale is higher than the cost.
  4. Yes means do the next step. No means stop.

It does not print in this sample. The filler SKU is so flooded that guaranteed dual-res cannot beat the dump.

Hard stop: Do not fracture these. Sampled dual-res Gold Rings Instant-Buyout at 1 exalt. Two Greater essences already cost more than that.

Forbidden Rites sample · 2026-09-18 · 1 Divine = 452.9 exalt = 8.47 chaos

Dead if you follow the tree with bought mats

Same math as belts: two Greater resist essences (~6 exalt) into a 1-exalt Gold Ring dump. Do not buy this printer.

Cost to follow the tree
7.3 exaltGold Ring + two Greater resist essences. Optional life fill does not lift the cheap cluster.
Normal Gold Ring
p25 1 exalt · median 2.2 exalt · n=10 of 18911 transmute to 1 exalt
Gold Ring life + dual-res
p25 1 exalt · median 1 exalt · n=10 of 100001 exalt Instant Buyout; all-res implicit counts as “dual-res”

Currency Exchange: Greater Essence of Insulation 3.7 exalt · Greater Essence of Thawing 2.6 exalt · Greater Essence of Grounding 1.9 exalt. Trade2 Instant Buyout for these orbs was empty — item-trade asks are not a fillable mat price.

Does this still make money today?

Use the same currency in every box, usually Divine orbs. Example: the finished item sells for 5, the base costs 1, and the currency you will spend is 1. You are 3 ahead, so continue.

Fill in all three prices.

Buy
Skip. Sampled Normal Gold Rings are already 1 transmute–1 exalt — same as the finished sale.
Sell this
Life + two elemental resists. Sampled Instant Buyout p25 = 1 exalt (n=10 of 10k).
Session cost
Not a printer. Two high resists on a life Gold Ring only lift the sale to ~10–20 exalt.
Batch
A batch of −EV rings is still −EV. Recheck CX vs the cheap cluster before buying essences.
